Mango Tiramisu

A refreshing and flavorful twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining creamy layers of mascarpone with luscious mango pulp and airy ladyfingers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mango pulp
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ladyfinger cookies
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or regular milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango Puree: If you’re using fresh mangoes, peel and chop them, then blend them into a smooth puree. If you’re using frozen mango, let them thaw completely before blending! Taste the puree; you want it sweet with a hint of tartness. Add a drizzle of honey or a squeeze of lime if it’s not quite right!
  2. Whip the Cream: In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Keep an eye on it; over-whipping can lead to butter!
  3. Mix Mascarpone and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with the sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Don’t overmix here, or it will lose its lovely texture.
  4. Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to lighten it up, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined.
  5. Prepare the Soaking Liquid: In a shallow dish, mix the coconut milk (or regular milk) with a couple of tablespoons of the mango puree for added flavor. Dip the ladyfingers quickly into this mixture; you want them moist but not soggy!
  6. Layer the Tiramisu: In a rectangular dish, place a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Then, spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, followed by a layer of mango puree. Repeat the layers until you reach the top, finishing with a layer of mascarpone.
  7. Chill the Tiramisu: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 240 minutes, preferably overnight.
  8. Serve with Style: Before serving, add some additional mango puree on top and garnish with fresh mango slices or mint leaves for a pop of color!
